Braves reassigned catcher Javy Lopez to minor league camp.

Lopez told the team he planned to retire entering camp. The 37-year-old entered camp as the favorite to back up Brian McCann, but he hit just .188/.270/.406 in 32 at-bats and proved to be the weakest defender among the four choices in camp. Now the Braves will pick from Clint Sammons, Corky Miller or Brayan Pena. Pena is also a below average defender, so the other two would seem to have the advantage.

So much for that experiment.

Corky Miller isn't too bad. He was close to making the M's club last year, however Jaime Burke had an awesome spring and regular season. It was the first time Burke had made a 25 man roster out of ST, at the age of 33.
